Cheap, easy-to-use monitoring technology is to blame. The annual survey also found more than a quarter of respondent companies fired people for misuse of company technology and three-quarters have disciplined people.

Once executed, the virus searches all hard drives for graphics files possessing names that indicate they may contain child pornography. British police said they will not be responding to the worm alerts, as the reports would fail to meet evidence standards.

Printer vendor Lexmark International hired a psychologist to analyze e-mail users' choice of fonts. The findings: people who use typewriter-style Courier fonts are stuck in the past, while Helvetica fans are in touch with contemporary issues. Devotees of Times New Roman and Palatino are able to compromise between old and new and they are trustworthy.

Now, the school board there has filed a lawsuit against two cyber schools, which enroll about 600 students, citing the schools were operating illegally under a state-mandated charter school program. But it may be the tuition bills that have really gotten their goat. The cost? Anywhere from $5,000 to $11,000 per student.
